“Consider this a test…I was here the whole time in case you rookies couldn’t hack it. Which means if your arrow had missed the assassin’s arrow, I would have stopped it in the .008 seconds left before it went through the Prime Ministers brainpan.”

Boy that wacky Batman. Always educating the lesser heroes of DC.

On a Bat-Dick scale of 1 to 10

(1 being “Thanks, old chum.” and 10 being “Are you retarded or something? Who the hell do you think I am? I’m the goddamn Batman.”)

this Batman gets a score of:

7 (“Let’s face it, Superman. The last time you really inspired anyone was when you were dead.”)

Sure, go for it. Salieri brought up a good point I don’t see why pretty much anything from Dark Knight Strikes again couldn’t be in the general area around #9. If you’ll allow me an hour or two, I’ll come up with a short list for everyone’s approval, and anyone with better quotes can contribute.

7 – ”Let’s face it, Superman. The last time you really inspired anyone was when you were dead.” (Average Bat-Dickness, cheap shot disguised as blunt advice.)

6 – “Right now you’re bleeding to death. Right now I’m the only one in the world who can get you to a hospital in time.” (Functional Bat-Dickness, lowered score since the target of this line is a criminal, albeit an injured one.)

5 – “For an ageless Amazon of eternal beauty, you’ve put on weight.” (Normal Everyday Bat-Dickness…an example of Batman’s best attempt (not the facade of Bruce Wayne) to be good-humored and sociable.)

4 – “I needed someone I could trust. But I had to settle for you.” (Justified Bat-Dickness.)

3 – “Oliver Queen is every bit the playboy that I pretend to be.” (Ambiguous Bat-Dickness, could be taken in several ways.)
